His articles have appeared in or are forthcoming in the California Law Review, the Georgetown Law Journal, the Iowa Law Review, the Michigan Law Review, the New York University Law Review, the Northwestern University Law Review, and the Yale Law Journal, as well as other publications. His past articles have won the American Constitution Society’s Richard D.

He has chaired both the Civil Procedure and the Poverty Law Sections of the Association of American Law Schools, and he has received the Indiana University Trustees’ Teaching Award twice. 

Professor Hammond joined the Maurer faculty in 2023. Before that, he was an Assistant Professor of Law and then an Associate Professor of Law at the University of Florida Levin College of Law where he received a university-wide award for excellence in research. Hammond also taught in the College and the Law School at the University of Chicago. Before entering academia, Hammond practiced as a legal aid attorney at the Sargent Shriver National Center on Poverty Law in Chicago, first as a Skadden Fellow and then Of Counsel. He clerked for then-Chief Judge Diane P. Wood of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit and Judge Robert M. Dow of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. Hammond holds degrees from the University of Chicago, the University of Oxford, where he was a Rhodes Scholar, and Yale Law School.
